UNITED STATES SALUDA MARTIN, OF FORT WORTH, TEXAS.

; SCHOOL ART BAG.

Application filed October 13, 1922. Serial N'o. 594,289.

'1'0 all whom it may concern.

Be it known that I, SALUDA MAR'11N, a citizen of the United States, residing at Fort Vorth, in the county ofTarrant and State of Texas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in School Art Bags, of which the following is a'specification.

My invention relates to a companion or hand-bag and particularly to a device for use of school pupils to take care of drawing materials; and the object is to provide a convenient device for carrying drawing material and for suspending the material in convenient reach of the person while at work or studying. Other objects and advantages will be fully explained in the following description, and more particularly pointed out in theclaims.

Reference is had to the accompanying drawings which form a part of this application.

Fig.1 is a front elevation of a hand-bag or companion with one corner of the closing flap turned up.

Fig. 2 is a vertical section taken on the line 2+2 of Fig. 1.

Fig. 3 is a horizontal section taken on the line 33 of Fig. 1.

Similar characters of reference are used to indicate the same parts throughout the several views.

This invention includes a body member 1 which is hung on a bar 2 and attached to the bar 2 by stitches 4. The cloth or other material of the body 1 is extended to form a closing flap 5 hereinafter explained. A pocket 6 for drawing paper, drawing book, and notebook, is fJrmed by a wide cover 7 of cloth or other material, and is attached at its side and bottom edges to the body 1 by stitches 8 or other means and the upper edge of the cover or front side 7 of the pocket 6 is provided with a border 10 folded and sewed thereon to protect the open edge of the cover or front piece 7. The bag is provided with other pockets. A pocket 11 is formed on the front of the pocket 6 for the different colors of crayon and a water pen. A pocket 12 isformed on the front of the pocket 6 for paste. A pocket 13 is formed on the pocket 6 for scissors and a pocket 14 is formed on the pocket 6 for the ruler and pencll. The pockets -11 to 14, inclusive, may be formed of a single piece of cloth or other material which is lapped on the edges of the body 1. as shown in'Fig. 3, and sewed thereon.

The different pockets 11 to 14 inclusive,

are formed by stitching the cloth to the cover 7 along the lines 15 which indicate the boundaries of the pockets. The pockets 12 and 13 are of less depth than the other pockets and are made of less depth by stitching the cloth to the cover 7 by stitches 16. All the pockets are closed by the one flap 5 and the flap may be fastened closed by buttons 17, which are sewed to the covers of pockets 11 to 14, and which engage buttonholes 18 in the flap 5. The covers of pockets 11 to 14 and cover 7 are secured to the body lat the bottom by a fold 19 which is secured on the cover by stitches 8. The bar 2 may be of wood or other material and rings 21 are provided and mounted on the bar 2 for suspending the bag on a desk or other article of furniture.

. The rings 21-engage the bar 2 for suspending the bag on a desk and the bag is particularly adapted for hanging on a desk in convenient reach of the pupil.

What I claim is 1. A school art bag comprising a front member, a central member extending above the upper edge of the front member, vertical rows of stitches attaching the front member to said central member for forming a plurality of pockets and means for making said pockets of different depths,

a back member co-extensive in width with..-

said front and central members and attached thereto at the vertical and bottom edges thereof for forming a large pocket and extending above the central member, a transverse pocket formed on the upper edge of said back member, a rigid bar mounted in said transverse pocket for suspending the bag and for preventing the bag from folding and wrinkling the paper cles of greater length, the front ply being pleated and stitched to the central, ply

to form pockets between the pleats, the central ply extending above the front ply whereby more ready access is had to the pockets between said pleats, a transverse casing at the top of the back ply, a reinforcing strip extending Within said cas ing, the said casing and strip having registered openings for receiving fastening elements for suspending the bag in operative position, and a flap depending from 10 the said casing for covering th said pockets.

In testimony whereof, I set my hand, this 3rd day of October, 1922.
